How People Use AI PDF Chat

Summarize Research Papers

Academic papers can be dense and time-consuming to read. With AI PDF chat, you can quickly get summaries of key findings, methods, or conclusions.

Just upload the document and ask direct questions like “What are the main takeaways?” or “What was the outcome of the study?”

Review Legal Documents

Contracts and agreements are full of fine print. AI PDF chat helps you pull out important sections like payment terms, responsibilities, and clauses.

Instead of reading line by line, simply ask, “What are the termination conditions?” or “Is there a non-compete clause?”

Scan Business Reports

Market reports, financial statements, or annual summaries can be overwhelming. AI makes it easy to extract the most relevant insights.

Upload your file and ask things like “What are the revenue trends?”,  “What’s the outlook for next quarter?” or anything else you’re curious about.

Understand Product Manuals

Technical manuals can be hard to follow, especially when you just need one answer. AI PDF chat gives you quick, clear instructions.

Ask questions like “How do I install this?” or “Where is the reset button?” and get right to the point.

Explore Medical Literature

Medical documents often use complex terminology and long explanations. AI PDF chat helps simplify that content into plain language.

It’s great for quickly understanding treatments, results, or clinical data by asking specific, focused questions.

Simplify Team Onboarding

New employees often have to dig through handbooks and internal PDFs. With AI chat, they can ask questions and get answers in seconds.

From “How do I request time off?” to “What’s the reimbursement policy?”—everything becomes more accessible.

Is Chatting with PDF Files Safe & Private?

Fello AI is built with a privacy-first approach to help you interact with your PDF documents quickly and securely. When you upload a file and begin chatting, the content is processed in real time using advanced AI models such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, enabling fast and intelligent responses based on your document.

We never analyze your documents beyond what’s needed to generate the responses you see. Your files are handled in-session only, and document interactions happen directly in your browser, giving you full control over your experience.

Because processing is powered by third-party AI services, it’s important to understand that your document data is temporarily shared with those models. While most providers have policies in place to limit data usage, this may vary by platform or usage tier.

What You Should Know

  • PDF data is sent to external AI models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) during chat interactions
  • These providers may retain data or use it for service improvement depending on their terms
  • We recommend not uploading confidential, regulated, or sensitive personal information
